What to Know

Critics Consensus

Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura might be punching below their weight with Dope Thief's derivative story, but that doesn't stop them from making this thriller a riveting ride.

Laura Babiak Observer Dope Thief is derivative and a bit ridiculous (some plot points really don’t hold up to scrutiny), but it’s worth tuning in to watch a masterclass from Brian Tyree Henry and the rest of the cast. Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Tim Lowery AV Club You could do a hell of a lot worse than having Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura—both very compelling screen presences in just about anything they’re in, quality be damned—lead your show. Rated: B- Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Keith Phipps TV Guide The Wire remains the gold standard for depicting how crime has intersections at every socioeconomic level of a 21st century American city, and Dope Thief borrows from its example. Rated: 7.6/10 Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool Dope Thief is about eight times more complex than it needs to be. However, by the time one realizes that truth, their bodies will likely be too saturated by adrenaline and too coiled by tension to pay that reality much mind. Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Megan Vick Collider Ultimately, Dope Thief has an intriguing premise that elevates it beyond your typical drug heist series, and it's carried off by world-class actors. Rated: 7/10 Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews Great performances and Great culture sadly don't support the repetitive story. Rated: c- Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
